Creativity Silence = Development Asphyxia

بالأبيض كفناهم...وبالأخضر كفناهم....وبالأحمر كفناهم..وبالأسود كفناهم.. والورد أحمر

وعن احلامى أصفرت ,,

ففالأخر هو كفن..وفى الأخر شهيد ودمه دمى وروحه علت روحى وصعدت للفاء رب كريم

 

the first  phrase was a phrase remember from 'Marcel 7'alikhfa song" say something like that: 

بالأبيض كفناهم...وبالأخضر كفناهم....وبالأحمر كفناهم..

unfortunatelly cannot remember the words but remember the meanings very well says something like: we shroud them in white, in green, in red, and black !!!

something like that winds doesnot count on our mistakes and sleep scape away from eyes...o o o his bloood ...his blood :(

 

what ever the color of the shroud is...still shroud by the end -:((

except that their spirits above mine and reached levels i cannot reach by now :$$

 

4  blocks away -from where i live - I got the happy new hack and not the happy new year wish, while sleeping home dreaming of a new year got the bloddy wisper wish...

@ 12: 20 ---> was the bomb which bombed our dreams for a happy new year :( 

 

it is time to stand up ..and speak up for good ...

it is time to educate people to learn what they already know :(

indeed it is all about educating people for good, to realize that "All are Equal as All are Different"...

but education cannot  stand alone..it needs an action and well to implement what we have learned ...

by laws, development, freedom and courage beyond speaking to make it true,

 

freedom of speech is good but is it enough?!!!

we in bad need for minds to understand us,  heart to feel us, and soul to live  .....and soul doesnot exist with no spirit ..

from where we can gain spirit while we asphyxiate creativity and thinking in the name of religion and order...

Ignorance,  illness, and poverty are 3 main constituents in any weak society, and as a logic to play with  religion is the fourth one :(

 why people cannot get whatt happened, even me..my self...what a naive mind to not see weakness in all that...

it is a catchy catchy to run to the catastrophe catch!!!

despite the fact who ever  or what ever ...built in or an out source ...movable or fixed one in our society's fabric .. whom ever behind all of  this bloody catastrophe..for me the same reasult despite of any reasons :$ :$

wanna know where we are going to, ask about the youth and women :$ :$

see how both think and feel...see their life conditions to realize where each society stands!!!

it is obvious that most groups affected by religion are women then youth, and when it comes to youth: all i can see my sun glasses..which turns everything ..... :D ;)

some people say that it is good, it s a peep to speak up and stand up, it is the constructive destructive ...to build our new future

but all i can seee just speaks and words and even words are not good enough :$

even me hunting for words but silence speaks ..and turning around to see only dust specks:$ :$

 

it is a Creativity Silence...O OOOO ..it is a  Development Asphyxia...

 

as started by song shall end with another but dreaming to be:

حلمى أنا أزرع ورود مكان الحدود بين البشر...وأمسح دموع كل البشر

dreaming to plant flowers instead of barriers between people...and wipe all tears

التطوع فى بلادنا
Translations available in: English (original) | German

شباب مسؤولية الشعوب ممثلة بأصحاب القرار فيها نحو استيعاب واستثمار هذه الشريحة من مجتمعاتنا، والتي تمثل نحو 65%

علماء الإقتصاد يضعون معيار تقدم الأمم ومعرفة مستقبلها من خلال استثمارها للإنسان وخاصة الشباب فهم الثروة الحقيقة وليس أرصدة البنوك ..

إذا أردنا أن نعرف مستقبل أمة فعلينا أن نعرف ما موقع شبابها منها ما الذي يشغل بالهم، وما هي اهتماماتهم و أهدافهم، وتلبية وفهم كل ما يتعلق بأمور دنياهم، ولعل أحد أهم مظاهر استثمار طاقات الشباب هو العمل التطوعي والتنموي.

تتجسد فى العمل التطوعي أسمى معانى المشاركة والتواصل بين الإنسان وأخيه الإنسان.

إذ أصبح العمل التطوعي ركيزة أساسية في بناء المجتمع ونشر التماسك الإجتماعي بين المواطنين لأي مجتمع، والعمل التطوعي ممارسة إنسانية ارتبطت ارتباطاً وثيقاً بكل معاني الخير والعمل الصالح عند كل المجموعات البشرية منذ الأزل (ولعل هذا ما يفسر اقترانه وأحياناً تقليصه فى مفاهيم الحج والعمرة والخدمة الكنسية) ولكنه يختلف في حجمه وشكله واتجاهاته ودوافعه من مجتمع إلى آخر، ومن فترة زمنية إلى أخرى، فمن حيث الحجم يقل في فترات الاستقرار والهدوء، ويزيد في أوقات الكوارث والنكبات والحروب، ومن حيث الشكل فقد يكون جهداً يدوياً وعضلياً أو مهنياً أو تبرعاً بالمال أو غير ذلك، ومن حيث الاتجاه فقد يكون تلقائياً أو موجهاً من قبل الدولة في أنشطة اجتماعية أو تعليمية أو تنموية، ومن حيث دوافعه فقد تكون دوافع نفسية أو اجتماعية أو سياسية أو حتى اقتصادية.


التطوع كعمل خيري هو وسيلة لراحة النفس والشعور بالاعتزاز والثقة بالنفس عند من يتطوع؛ لأنه فعالية تقوي عند الأفراد الرغبة بالحياة والثقة بالمستقبل حتى أنه يمكن استخدام العمل التطوعي لمعالجة الأفراد المصابين بالاكتئاب والضيق النفسي والملل؛ ليشعر الفرد بأهميته ودورهم في تقدم المجتمع الذي يعيش فيه؛ مما يعطيه الأمل بحياة جديدة أسعد حالاً..



ويمكن التمييز بين شكلين أساسيين من أشكال العمل التطوعي:

1- العمل التطوعي الفردي

2- العمل التطوعي المؤسسي:



في المجتمع مؤسسات كثيرة يحتل فيها العمل التطوعي أهمية كبيرة وتسهم(جمعيات ومؤسسات أهلية وحكومية) في تطوير المجتمع . وجدير بالإعتبار، أن النشاطات التطوعية تجذب كلأً من المرأة والشباب على وجه الخصوص


ولكن الخطير هو أن يتم منع تلك الفئتان من المشاركة, وهو ما يحدث الآن فى مجتمعنا العربى، من خلال تحجيم فكر المجتمع المدنى وشل ذات يمينه خوفاً من تطور تلك المشاركة التطوعية إلى مشاركة واعية للحقوق المواطن...ومن ثم مطالبات بتلك الحقوق..إلى أن تتطور إلى مشاركة ومطالبات سياسية ومطالب حوكمة رشيدة.


وأول خطوات تضييق الخناق تتمثل فى عدة نقاط متلازمة، تتمثل فى:

1- إلباس وقصر العمل التطوعى على المفهوم الدينى المتمثل فى شنطة الخير والخدمة الكنسية والأيتام ودور رعايا المسنين والتبرع بالدم ..وما شابه.

2- التعليم والبحث العلمى: وقد يبدو للوهلة الأولى عدم ارتباط هذا بذاك، ولكن حتى يتسنى خلق جيل جديد من الشباب الواعى يجب توافر مقومات التفكير السليم له، ذلك التفكير الذى يفتح آفاق تواكب معطيات عصر جديد.
والبحث العلمى: فى ابتكار وسائل وطرق ..وبل من يتبنى مشاريع البحوث ليعبر بها حصن الأدراج الموصدة.


3- الشفافية والرقابة والمصداقية: كثير من المبادرات والمؤسسات التنموية ومنظمات المجتمع أصابها ماأصاب المجتمع من فساد مؤسسى وفساد أفراد..وكثير من نضالها أصبح من قبيل صراع المصالح الفردية والشللية لا صراع من أجل التنمية الحقيقية.

والقليل منا من ينأى بنفسه ويترفع عن مثل تلك السخافات.


4- التكفير: وقصر تيجان الحكمة على أصحاب الصولاجان: ابتلى المجتمع المدنى بآفات أصحاب العقول والرؤى من أعيان مجالس الحكماء والفن الغارق فى تكتلات النور الفجة، من هؤلاء الذين ينظرون بنظرة دونية لكل من لا يلبس عبائتهم أو يرفع شعارهم، وأصبح شعار المجتمع المدنى: أنت معنا أم ضدنا؟...أو شعار: لعنة الله على الكافرين وكل من يكفر بصراطنا المستقيم.....


فالجميع هو صاحب الصراط المستقيم...ودونه ينتمى للطبقة الدونية المغيبة ..من العامة الغوغاء والسفهاء.


ونحن فقط القادرين على نشل المهمشين والغافلين من بؤرة بؤسهم..نحن من يملك مفتاح السعادة فى جنة الخلد.

5- العشوائية والإرتجالية والصحوبية يا معلم: الكثير من المبادرات قوامها علاقات فردية بدون رؤية واضحة ومستدامة، هوجة وهتجيب عاليها واطيها، وانسي يا صاحبى على أول مفترق طريق.

6- أنا لقمان الحكيم سأبنى يوتبيا: وأخيراً وليس آخراً، ابتلى منا من يخدع نفسه بأنه غير الجميع، وأنه من سيبنى يوتبيا، فهو المنقذ المنتظر الذى سيغير الجميع، وما يلبث صباح فجر حتى يصير أول المتغيبين والمتغيرين، أو يعيش فى غيبوبة الحلم الكبير غير مدرك للواقع الفعلى من حوله.


فمن منا تطوع...ومن منا تعلم...ومن منا علم؟


يا أمة تنعق بأنها أمة "اقرأ" وما رأيت فى طرقاتها أسطر مكتوبة غير "أترضاها لأختك؟" أو "نؤيد ونبايع" أو "محلات الأكل والملابس" أو "هنا الحضارة وأهل الكرم والرفعة" وتتلفت حولك ما تجد غير تلال الزبالة والوجوه المعدمة

The Broken Vase

few moments ago just finished reading an article titled "The Broken Vase" By May Rostom.

about if human relationships are like fine china, once broken can never be mended; the article mainly about the broken hearts ...lap lap lap
http://www.arabia.msn.com/Women/Relationships/2009/november/Broken_vase.aspx

the article is just awesome not because it is all about partnerships between couples ,,,,etc
but mainly it stopped me for a wider scope -to be honest didn't read it word by word just a quick scanning- as some quotes stopped me :D

i love her idea which wonders "When should we just throw the broken vase away and find a better vase?

in life we have different vases with different forms and sizes :
- the friendship vase
- the brotherhood vase
- the motherhood vase
- the passion vase
- the ....the.....the..........many and many

some vases we fall in love with in the first sight , its colorful shiny shape attracts us, takes us with its glory fantasy but later on the flame get weaker and weaker day after day and we use its shape , to turn to be just a piece of something over there, ..........................................................

later on we found our selves denying it, and may be avoiding it in some other times ,

while -in most of the time- by the time we try to hide it instead of cleaning its dust as we afraid to be hurt by these dust for the sack of our healthy lungs ...we prefer to just hold those vases away to not look like " having too sensitive lung"...otherwise our cough will show our weakness

some people when they show their feelings are often put down and told they are "too sensitive," "over- reacting," "emotional," and not "objective....they told to be "strong," "confident," "logical," and "objective"......

in matter of fact they asked to be "wild" , and "insolent"....living in isolated islands !!!!

what the shame in feeling our feelings? what the shame in witnessing our whooping?
what is wrong with some little pure drops of tears? it could clean up the dust ...it won't brake it...

even if we did broke our vases or the other vases ...I believe the little pieces of its china could build a splendor Mosaic Pavement, a pavement designed to lead us through life path.

indeed we could hurt our hands while collecting the broken pieces but by the end -if we got the enough courage- we get our markable and magnificent mosaic.

so why people insist to live in just isolated islands in self-conceit oceans!!!
why should we throw the broken vases away ??

Human all over the world are superb souls, every single person is just a master piece in this Mosaic , cutting of one of these faces forfeitures the wholeness harmony of this universe ....

should we fall apart to prove that we can stand alone "Ares"? or playing "Artemis"?
forgetting about nobility, brotherhood and humanity solidarity for the sack of foolhardy pride!!!

what is wrong with "Apollo"? or may be "Athena"?
both are GODs tooo..aren't they??!!

Culture of Peace "Online" Campaign - International Day of Peace 2009
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

The International Day of Peace (Peace Day) takes place on September 21. It was established by a United Nations resolution in 1981 to coincide with the opening of the General Assembly, which was held annually on the third Tuesday of September. The first Peace Day was celebrated in September 1982.

In 2002 the General Assembly officially declared September 21 as the permanent date for the International Day of Peace and as a day of global ceasefire.

By creating the International Day of Peace, the UN devoted itself to worldwide peace and encouraged all of mankind to work in cooperation for this goal. During the discussion of the U.N. Resolution that established the International Day of Peace, it was suggested that:

“Peace Day should be devoted to commemorating and strengthening the ideals of peace both within and among all nations and peoples … This day will serve as a reminder to all peoples that our organization, with all its limitations, is a living instrument in the service of peace and should serve all of us here within the organization as a constantly pealing bell reminding us that our permanent commitment, above all interests or differences of any kind, is to peace.”

Since its inception, Peace Day has marked our personal and planetary progress toward peace. It has grown to include millions of people in all parts of the world, and each year events are organized to commemorate and celebrate this day. Events range in scale from private gatherings to public concerts and forums where hundreds of thousands of people participate.

Anyone anywhere can celebrate Peace Day. It can be as simple as lighting a candle at noon, or just sitting in silent meditation. Or it can involve getting your co-workers, organization, community or government engaged in a large event. The impact if millions of people in all parts of the world, coming together for one day of peace, is immense.

International Day of Peace is also a Day of Ceasefire – personal or political. Take this opportunity to make peace in your own relationships as well as impact the larger conflicts of our time. Imagine what a whole Day of Ceasefire would mean to humankind.


The idea is to organize a Campaign for young people in the world to express their opinions in writing (articles, Blogging and poetry from young people), art gallery for artistic expression and Podcast about Culture of Peace. The Campaign will benefit from the spread of using the Internet and the ease of communication it provides. The Campaign will be hosted on the pages of WupY and published among target youth by our partners.

Support the Right to Education
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

As we all getting ready for school, Some busy preparing their new dresses and pencils ,getting ready for the "First Day" and meeting friends ...
while other busy thinking how they could manage reaching their way to school or think if there will be a "First Day" ever for them !!


the new "Human Rights Watch" call:
https://www.kintera.org/site/c.nlIWIgN2JwE/b.5424957/k.7F57/Back_to_School/apps/ka/sd/donor.asp?c=nlIWIgN2JwE&b=5424957&en=dnLNJJPfE6IzGGNlE7JyEFNkG8ILK0PtHfJJLPOrH6JELMNjEfKXF

this call reminds me by previous calls:
http://internationallawobserver.eu/2009/02/06/concluding-observations-of-the-committee-on-the-rights-of-the-child/
http://internationallawobserver.eu/2008/10/16/positive-vote-for-the-new-ecuadorian-constitution-confirmed-a-brief-review/

As an ARAB these Calls drive me crazy when it comes to education in our schools...and Scientific progress and Knowledge in Arab world :((
(check for reference this note"Brain Funeral !!!" :
http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=51221485885)

And how some ppl claim that this is because Islam affected negatively the "Freedom of Thinking" ....and how Religions play a role in stopping the Scientific Progress.....

For me i believe that it is not Islam, but Muslims, Muslims leaders and policymakers who are to blame for the lack of scientific progress in the Islamic world.


Islam should be a driving force for scientific progress in our countries as used to be, not an obstacle and History showed us how Islam helped Arab view their own human nature, imposing in the foundation of their ethical system, how it shaped their purpose for life, a life for All and by ALL divining plan that makes humans any different from other beings.

The first quranic revelation i.e. the first verses in the Holy Quran is: اقْرَأْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ Read: In the name of thy Lord Who createth,

Islam encourages "Learning", it states that the Knowledge and science seeker consider a 'Shaied' on mission until he reachs home safe" :D
as the Hadith sayss: “He who leaves his home in order to seek knowledge, he is in Allah’s path
until he returns [to his home].”

(At-Tirmidhi, Sunan, An-Nawawi, Riyad As-Salahin)


thus, in Ramdan why not to consider a part of our "Zakat" and "Sadaqat": helping a student near by to reach school..or try to help someone to have a scholarship abroad or in any university here...maybe SHe will be another "Zaweil" ....someone may return and help our people for good :))

or donate help NGO working in empowering Youth's skills or help young people to learn a new handcraft or build their project..Plz don't limited your good deeds for only "Haj , Omra, and Shantet Ramdan":D

Think about the suffering kids in conflict areas like Darfor , Iraq, Palstine, ......etc
help them to dream for a better world

If u won't manage to be part of the "HRW's call"L...SO PLzzz TRY to:
help in fixing an old school ..or donate to ur old school...pay for a poor student his school/university fees ...Gazakom ALLah 7'eran :D


and check those keda:
Hadith 1:
“Any person who goes along a course seeking knowledge, Allah will make for him the path to Paradise easy because of it. And he who is slow-paced in doing good deeds, his noble lineage will not give him priority [into
Paradise].”

(Muslim, Sahih; Ad-Darimi, Sunan; An-Nawawi, Riyad As-Salihin)


Hadith2:
“Teach! Make things easy! And do not make things complicated!
He (SAAW) repeated this three times and then he added:
And if you get angry, keep quiet!”

(Ibn Hajar Al-‘Asqalani, Al-Matalib Al-‘Aliyah; At-Tayalisi; Ibn Hanbal; Ibn Abi Shaibah)


Hadith 3:
“You should be a scholar, or a student, or a listener, or a lover of ‘Ilm
and scholars, and you should not be the fifth which makes you perish.
‘Ata’ said, Mis’ar said to me: You added a fifth point which we do not have.
The fifth point is: To hate ‘Ilm and its people.”

(At-Tabarani; Al-Bazzar)


There are over the 40 Hadith and Verse encourage Learning and Seeking Knowledge.....


I know am not a Preacher -to ask people to where put their Zakat and not such Model for a "Scientific Seeker" but I am a dreamer who believe that "Dreams Come True" only when we all "Hands in Hands" .....as we "All in One...and One in All"

It is about the power of people , Prophet Mohamed was an ordinary person, he wasn't a president nor a policy maker, he was a young dreamer who had a message

a message which brought the concept of "Knowledge Seeker" to "Al.Jazeera Al.3arebya"
“O’ Messenger of Allah! I came to seek knowledge.
He said: Welcome knowledge seeker!
Indeed, the angles surround the knowledge seeker with their wings, then they pile on top of each other until they reach the lower heaven out of their love of what he is seeking.”

(Ahmad Ibn Hanbal; At-Tabarani; Ibn Hajar Al-‘Asqalani, Mukhtasar At-Targhib; Ibn Hajar Al-‘Asqalani, Al-Isabah fi Tamyziz As-Sahabah, article“Safwan Ibn ‘Assal”)


For the Sake of ALLAH please lets forget about "Feeding Bellys'...and Lets think for awhile about "Feeding MInds"
خلاص من كتر شنط رمضان الواحد حس إن الناس بقت بطايق تموين ماشيه على رجلين
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ومن كتر حفلات تزغيط الأيتام ...أٌقصد "إفطار الأيتام" بقه حاسس إنه مشروع "علف البطون القومي
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


creating a "Knowledge Based Society" is important as much as other charity things -and may be more-
